I hear that.

An idea that I had come up with for this before was a comparison between these trucks and GM trucks. If you go to pass with a GM truck, it's going to likely drop 2 gears, pick up one, and then shortly after pick up the other, so probably while you're passing you'll be back in overdrive. On the other hand, if you're in a Dodge, and I've noticed this with Fords too, that if you go to pass, it will drop it into 3rd and it will stay there until you let your foot out of it. I think that this is the computer's fault because it decides to keep it in 3rd for you until it thinks you're done passing, for pulling power, which I kind of like. Dodge admitted with their new trucks in 2002 that they put in this "passing gear" which was a gear that was ratioed between 3 and overdrive, meant for pulling power to pass at around 60 mph or something.

It makes sense to me, since Dodge motors make most of their power at lower revs, and GM's make most of their power at higher revs. The GM has to drop the 2 gears to take advantage of power, while a Dodge shouldn't have to. I'm probably far off though, but I do know that a Dodge sounds like it's going to fly apart when you rev it, but almost any GM product can rev. Doesn't necessarily mean the GM makes any power, lol.
